Hi,
I keep getting the following error as I am new to programming and I am
following a tutorial and I am using Python 3.6. Can you please point me in the
right direction as to what I am doing wrong. This is code I am running
import datetime as dtimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltfrom matplotlib import
style#from matplotlib.finance import candlestick_ohlcimport matplotlib.dates as
mdatesimport pandas as pdimport pandas_datareader.data as webimport bs4 as
bsimport pickleimport requestsimport osimport csvimport numpy as npimport time
style.use('ggplot')
def save_tsx_tickers(): resp =
requests.get('http://web.tmxmoney.com/indices.php?section=tsx&index=%5ETSX')
soup = bs.BeautifulSoup(resp.text, "lxml") table = soup.find('table',
{'class': 'indices-table'}) tickers = [] for row in
table.findAll('tr')[1:]: ticker = row.findAll('td')[1].text
tickers.append(ticker.replace(".","-") + ".TO")
with open("tsxtickers.pickle", "wb") as f: pickle.dump(tickers, f)
#print(tickers) return tickers
def get_data_from_yahoo(reload_tsx = False): if reload_tsx: tickers =
save_tsx_tickers() else: with open("tsxtickers.pickle", "rb") as f:
tickers = pickle.load(f)
if not os.path.exists('stock_dfs'): os.makedirs('stock_dfs')
start = dt.datetime(2000, 1, 1) end = dt.datetime(2016, 12, 31)
for i in tickers: if not
os.path.exists('stock_dfs/{}.csv'.format(i)): time.sleep(2)
df = web.DataReader(i, 'yahoo', start, end)
df.to_csv('stock_dfs/{}.csv'.format(i)) else: print('Already
have {}'.format(i))
However, I keep getting this error. Please help in identifying the problem.
Thank you.
